Make your money go even further with Gift Aid.
If you are a UK tax payer, Imperial College London can claim back the tax you have already paid on your gift from the Inland Revenue through the Gift Aid programme. By claiming Gift Aid, Imperial College will receive an extra 25 pence from HM Revenue & Customs for every pound you give.
Here's how your donation could by worth more to the College at no extra cost to you:
